Your videos are very helpful. Thank you for doing them. I, too, am happy to see T Mobile doing this. I live in a small town of 2,700 in Northcentral Arkansas. I am averaging 100 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload. That may not sound like much to most people, but my only choice for internet is dsl through my local telephone company. I had the top plan, which gave me up to 10 Mbps download and up to 1 Mbps upload. I think you can see why I am so excited by my numbers. Keep up the great work!!!

Bro thank you so much for your content it helped me decide on giving the T-Mobile home internet a chance and it worked out. I live in rural NC and internet has been pointless besides cellular. I mean I used to get 3-4 Mbps now I get it 25-200 mbps which is amazing but my only problem is it fluctuates from highs to basically crashing to .03 mbps. From what I understand it’s the towers deprioritizing my service since it’s home internet. The only way to fix is it to reboot it but I have to do this multiple times of the day... regardless when it’s working it’s a blessing until starlink comes 🙌🏽 keep up your content it’s interesting and very knowledgeable
@NaterTater
@NaterTater 3 года назад
Tyrese, glad its working out. When it drops to the near zero speed that is more likely a software issue. It seems these gateways have a memory leak and it "locks up" after a while. Thats why a reboot helps. Reboots should really change deprioritization. Be patient and bug customer service every once in a while, I think with firmware updates they will address these issues.

I also live in NC, more exactly, Shelby. I used to have spectrum internet and they were charging me $95 per month for 200 mbps so it was time to quit their service. I get 50 in the day and in the mornings/ nights I get up to 100 Mbps. For $50 it's ok, but I'm unsure that all my home devices would do with that especially when streaming, gaming, etc

Hello just had a quick question. I got the tmobile home internet yesterday and I was wondering why I can not connect my xbox one s to the 5ghz network.?. In the tmobile home Int. App I switch the setting to 5ghz and on the xbox it doesn't even show or pop up the network name, but if I change the setting in the app back to 2.4ghz,5ghz (automatic) and try to go to connect to wifi on the xbox it shows the network name and it signs in with the 2.4ghz. I have excellent signal all 5 bars, I would really love to use the 5ghz on the xbox. Ive even hardwired it with a wired ethernet cord and its slower than ****. I'm not tech savvy but its driving me crazy. Lol.. If you would have any advice it would be appreciated.. __Also when I try to go to the site u mention in your vid, just like u did it takes me to a page like the app would look like and tells me to download that, which I already do.. Can u no longer use that page anymore since they have the app now? I apologize for the ramble.. Hope it makes sense.. Thank you in advance. Cheers 🍻
@NaterTater
@NaterTater Год назад
It could be due to the encryption type or the channel bandwidth. You can adjust those in the app. You want WPA2 encryption. If that is already set then try lowering the 5Ghz bandwidth to 20 or 40 Mhz. However for most speeds 2.4Ghz is more than capable and if your speed is slow via ethernet too then 5Ghz wont help. They want you to use the app now, not the website.

I have the Nokia Gateway for my home internet. Recently, I found that my Roomba vacuums no longer connect to the cloud thru the gateway. Both Roombas are on 2.4GHz and have been for two years. After going through tech support with that company, to no avail, I tried something on my own. I plugged my old router into the lan port of the gateway and set the I-robot to use routers 2.4GHz band and the vacuums synced right up. They work correctly through a router but not directly to the Nokia Router. Could there be something that is failing in my Gateway? T-Mobile will send me a new or nearly new gateway but I was hoping you may have an idea about this failure. THX

you just need to separate out the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi on the nokia so they have different SSID wifi names. Then the roomba can connect to the 2.4ghz wifi.

I followed your instructions and was not able to print after changing and saving the changes. First I tried B, which was a choice. It did not work, then I tried n/g as that was the only choice with n. That did not seem to work either. I do have a Netgear router on the system that is hooked up to the network and the Netgear.

Off topic, but I had a surprise with my T mobile home internet speed, still on the same B2/n41. After my first two months, starting mid-June, where my peak download speed was 190, and I got that only a few times (a usual high download speed was more like 170 for me), all of a sudden one morning just over a week ago I had a bunch of speed tests over 200. Then this morning I rotated the can 180 degrees, still in its best place on the window sill facing the tower, and hit a new peak of 355Mbps, with a bunch of tests over 300. I figure they must have done some tuning of their equipment. So my average download speed is 100Mbps faster than it was for the first 2 months. At 5 miles away from the tower in my rural area, I think this much speed is pretty rare. BTW, my upload speeds are the same, 10 to 30 most of the time. Your channel is the one I most often point people to regarding Tmobile home internet issues, because you've covered all the practical and most useful tips like no one else.

That's part of wifi 6 protocol. By default all 4 are enabled but they only broadcast the SSID and your device automatically connects to the best one. Broadcast means the wifi is visible to devices but turning off broadcaat does not disable the ssid, it just hides it from devices.

Would like to put the T-mobile device in a better location where it gets better signal and use 5GHz wireless back haul to a lower level in the house where I could plug in wired devices.

It "band steers" or auto chooses. You can rename the SSID's to different ones though if you want them to be different.

Hi Nate, I'm enjoying your channel. I was able to see the gateway using the 192.168.12.1 address but I must have missed something on Logging in.

Nate, your videos on the new tmobile home internet are really helpful. I got mine last week and had an easy setup, home network is pretty simple with a few nest cameras and iPad/iPhone. I’m probably a light user since in just use internet and streaming. The only problem I have had is with my chromecast devices to a couple of TVs. I did hook up my old router and seems to work but wondering if there is a way to just use my TMobile gateway wifi and no router. Thanks in advance if you have any suggestion. ~Diane

Hey Diane. Many people have reported issues with google devices. I have several google devices too. You can try turning off WMM in the webui settings on the gateway to see if that fixes your issue.

Engineering has an open ticket to help boost my signal strength…I’m in a small condo but I tried every spot possible and used your tips as well.

I have 2 smart tv ( ROKU and Samsung) and 2 locations within the same house. I am not that technical, but I have been told by FUBO that because tmobile internet is a hot spot it might be using 2 IP addresses and that is why FUBO cant recognize a home network on both TVs.

I'm not sure I follow your question but I'd try doing what this video says and splitting your 2.4ghz and 5Ghz wifi SSID's to two different names. Then connect both TV's to the same band, probably 2.4Ghz and see if that fixes the problem.

So I was told it did not have the latest firmware & to exchange it at my local store for the Nokia, which does have the latest firmware. However, the nokia has speeds of only 5-10 mbps but stays connected, unlike the arcadyan. I am only 2.5 mi away from the nearest tower. Should I go back to the arcadyan because the speeds were great when it worked but multiple times all day long it would disconnect itself?? Do they not make a device that actually does what they say it does?

I spent 8 hours yesterday and nite, trying to make it work. No Joy. The main computers say I have internet, but it is not functioning. I am using a laptop to access the 5G gateway. I have a cat5 cable going from the 5G router to the internet jack on the Asus router. But even though the computers say there is internet service - it no worky.

My unit acts very strangely. Some times internet drops (still has 3 bars) and wifi stays connected. Sometimes it will then re establish a connection within minutes or not at all. I believe its having wifi issues, not 5g issues. I even purchased a fan to blow under it to see if it helps. I even changed my wifi to n instead of ac. This halved my bandwidth to 200mbps. I still get d/c. The time it takes to re establish a connection has improved, however. In the wifi stats it shows Sent Errors 11105.
